You have been so kind to me many times over the years in times of need, especially during two very bad times in my life. That was ten and thirty years ago. I am very happy now, but at the time, could not foresee my life as it is now.

I didn't know where else to turn tonight, and was afraid that I would either harm myself again, or worse. Talking to someone there has calmed me down and I don't feel so alone now.

I spent three hours on the phone last night telling a complete stranger about my depression, anxiety and suicidal feelings. I'd never told anyone before. Today I feel like a different person. My troubles have not gone but a problem shared has been a problem halved. Thank you.

I would tell anyone to call Samaritans because they've always helped me and you haven't got anything to lose. If they don't help you, it's just a phone call, you don't have to tell anyone that you've called them and it's all anonymous. It's worth a try. Even if you aren't on the point of killing yourself, you can still be going through immense pain and distress- almost unbearable - and Samaritans are fantastic at easing your pain.

There's very few places you can go to in the world where you can pick up a telephone and another human being, no matter why they're doing it, will listen to you unconditionally. If you want to pour out in a phone call, they will listen for hours, for as long as you need them to.
